Mi Feng, spokesperson of the National Health Commission and deputy director of the Publicity Department, said at the meeting that after the implementation of the "Class B and B Control" measures, key groups, key institutions, and key places are still the focus of prevention and control.
He said that elderly care institutions, social welfare institutions and other places have many high-risk groups and concentrated personnel, and the risk of epidemic transmission is high.

Strengthen monitoring of key institutions and places to achieve early detection of epidemics
Chang Zhaorui, a researcher at the Communication and Prevention Department of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the Omicron mutant strain spreads quickly, and key institutions and places are densely populated. Once a source of infection is introduced, it is easy to cause spread in a short period of time, which has a greater impact on the elderly.
Under the implementation of routine prevention and control measures in key institutions and places, early detection of the epidemic is the key through health monitoring, antigen or nucleic acid testing.
For elderly care institutions, social welfare institutions and other places where vulnerable groups are concentrated, the first is to carry out at least twice a day the temperature detection of all personnel and the monitoring of symptoms related to new coronavirus infection.
The second is to carry out regular nucleic acid or antigen testing for the staff and care recipients in the institution according to whether the institution adopts closed management.
If suspicious symptoms appear, nucleic acid or antigen detection should be taken in time.
In addition, medical institutions should focus on antigen or nucleic acid detection of severe and high-risk hospitalized patients, timely detection and management of infected persons, and reduce the spread and spread of the epidemic in medical institutions.
For the rest of the staff of key institutions and key places, monitoring should be strengthened, and if symptoms appear, antigen testing and nucleic acid testing should be carried out in a timely manner.
